🇦🇹Austria|Hallstatt, the most beautiful town to visit once in a lifetime
Hallstatt is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to Lake Hallstatt. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The houses are built close to the mountain walls. It is listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO and is also known as the most beautiful town in Austria. One of them, it has the reputation of being a must-visit once in a lifetime. The scenery is very different throughout the year and is worth visiting many times. I think the snow season and summer are the most beautiful ❤️

Hall means "salt" in Celtic language. Historically, this area became rich due to salt. The Hallststt salt mine is one of the three oldest salt mines in Europe. It still produces salt today and most tourists will take a tour.

🌟 Surrounding attractions?
The town is not large, and you can visit the town in 20 minutes. You can walk to the #Hallstatt Salt Mine ticket office (you can make an appointment in advance to visit), #LutheranChurch, and #BoneChurch.
.
Further afield are #GaosaLake (good for taking pictures in the afternoon) and #五之山 (it is recommended to check the images on the mountain that day before deciding whether to go up the mountain).
🌟 How to play?
Choose a lakeside B&B (recommend #Polreich, details in the next article), stay in the lake area for 24 hours, enjoy the quiet beauty of the town after the tour group leaves, and appreciate the lakeside scenery from different time periods; travel along the salt mine, and start from #Sky Trail Overlooking Lake Hallstatt, be sure to buy a bottle of Hallstatt special beer at the souvenir shop and take a photo at the observation point; if the weather is suitable, go to Lake Gaosa to experience the colorful lake light, or take the cable car to Wuzhi Mountain to overlook another part of the town. The beauty of the angle.
🌟 How to get there?
The nearest big city is #Salzburg, which can be reached by train and bus, but the most recommended is self-driving (Austria’s road design is really easy to drive), the time is flexible, and many small towns nearby are also beautiful (in Europe in summer People’s holiday paradise), for example, you can visit #Obertraun, #St.Wolfgang, #St.Gilgen, etc.
🌟Some tips
1. Most restaurants in the Lake District close early (and are quite expensive and crowded). It is recommended to bring some food or have dinner early. If you don’t want to eat in expensive and ordinary restaurants, I recommend Turkish Kebab #Hallstatt Imbiss, which is relatively cheap and filling, and it opens late.
2. There are many souvenir shops in the town, but the quality of the souvenir shops in the Hallstatt Salt Mine is generally the best. However, the most common cooking salt can be bought in the supermarket (a few euros cheaper).
